General Information

Useful Information:

Electricity and voltage: Hong Kong’s standard voltage is 220 volts AC, 50Hz (with most hotel bathrooms also offering outlets for 100 volts). The city’s majority of electrical points take a three-pronged square plug (the same as the type used in the United Kingdom). Inexpensive adaptors are readily available from most convenience stores.

Wi-Fi: Free and fast Wi-Fi is readily available throughout Hong Kong.

Transport in Hong Kong: Hop around the well-connected city in comfort.

Octopus Card: Removing the frustrating need to fumble for foreign currency when navigating international transport. With the exception of taxis, each of Hong Kong’s transport services can be paid for with a single Octopus card. – a stored-value electronic card that can be used and topped up at convenience stores, supermarkets, fast food shops, vending machines, and more. Octopus cards are available at all MTR Stations.
